In an article by Saba Skaria<\/strong>, published in An-Nahar<\/em><\/a> on March 8, 2025<\/strong>, the newspaper sheds light on the dire conditions of temporary detention centers in Lebanon<\/strong>. According to the report, these facilities suffer from severe overcrowding, mistreatment, and trial delays<\/strong>, effectively turning them into de facto prisons rather than short-term detention centers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A report by the National Human Rights Commission<\/strong>, following visits to 190 detention centers between July and December 2023<\/strong>, concluded that systemic violations of detainees\u2019 rights<\/strong> are widespread.<\/p>\n
